2025 Frugal Friday File, March 7...

 

1.  Aside from one meal out to try out a new local restaurant (which Carey loved so much, it was totally worth it), we had a really frugal grocery week.

2.  I've been feeling kind of iffy this week, so except for a trip to the library and chiropractor, I've been staying home and spending no money.  

3.  I've avoided checking for possible close-out clearance deals at Joann's.

4.  Carey picked up some tomato and pepper plants...fingers crossed!

5.  Sadly, Carey has found an issue with our car for which the repair costs would not be smart to invest in a ten-year-old car.  He's been doing mechanic work since his teens, went to school for it, did it professionally for awhile, and has taken really good care of all of our cars.  So I trust his assessment, and I'm super thankful for all the repair costs he has saved us over the years.  Still, I'm less than excited about car shopping.

On the menu this week:

Saturday:  Saturday family supper at Kasey & Beau's

Sunday:  leftovers

Monday:  Meatballs, Scalloped Potatoes, Cranberry Sauce

Tuesday:  out to try a new Italian restaurant

Wednesday:  Tuna Salad Sandwiches

Thursday:  Carey: Twice-baked Sweet Potato, Me: skipped

Friday:  leftovers

    1. I just used a box of Au Gratin scalloped potatoes, and frozen meatballs made for an easy meal. ;)

  3. Sorry about your car! But you are better off shopping for one now that months from now -- prices will go up.

    Joanne doesn't have worthwhile discounts yet and probably won't for weeks. Their stock was sold to a liquidator, and stock was marked up higher than what most of the merchandise was originally selling for.

    I sure do wish they weren't going out of business, and that our cars lasted longer!

I have had a lot of really gross spam comments left lately, so I am having to turn comment moderation back on. To my nice blog friends, my apologies if this makes it more difficult for you to comment. To the mean naughty-talk spammers, just go away!
